Answer:

Swimming can improve your health.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gerunds are nouns which derive from verbs and take the -ing form. In the sentence, the noun swimming functions as the subject of the verb can.

Gerunds are usually used as subjects of sentences, after certain verbs (such as enjoy and look forward to) and after prepositions.

Whats the length of the short side?

anzhelika [568]

Call the short side x. We have

tan 72° = opposite/adjacent = (12.8 cm) / x

x = 12.8 / tan 72° = 12.8/(3.01) = 4.158...

Answer: 4.2 cm

Prove that the triangle EDF is isosceles. Give reasons for your answer.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$\triangle EDF$ is isosceles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please have a look at the attached figure.

We are given the following things:

$\angle EDF = y$

$\text{External }\angle DFG = 90 +\dfrac{y}{2}$

Let us try to find out $\angle E$ and $\angle DFE$ . After that we will compare them.

Finding  $\angle DFE$ :

Side EG is a straight line so $\angle GFE = 180$

$\angle GFE$ is sum of internal $\angle DFE$ and external $\angle DFG$

$\angle GFE = 180 = \angle DFE + \angle DFG\\\Rightarrow 180 = \angle DFE + (90+\dfrac{y}{2})\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 180 - 90 - \dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow \angle DFE = 90 - \dfrac{y}{2} ....... (1)$

Finding  $\angle E$ :

Property of external angle: External angle in a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite internal angles of a triangle.

i.e. external $\angle DFG$ = $\angle E + \angle EDF$

$\Rightarrow 90+\dfrac{y}{2} = \angle E + y\\\Rightarrow \angle E = 90+\dfrac{y}{2} -y\\\Rightarrow \angle E = 90-\dfrac{y}{2} ....... (2)$

Comparing equations (1) and (2):

It can be clearly seen that:

$\angle DFE = \angle E =90-\dfrac{y}{2}$

The two angles of $\triangle EDF$ are equal hence $\triangle EDF$ is isosceles.
